DC get off the mark as Rishabh Pant finds his groove and MS Dhoni’s blaze falls short for CSK

[ad_1] Synopsis: Throwback Dhoni and magical Pathirana thrust to defeat by a back-to-near best Pant and a utilitarian bowling groupHope buzzed. The past flickered. For 20-odd minutes, this was 2005 Visakhapatnam again. A dashing young batsman, with hair like peaceful waves, would shred the bowlers to all parts of the ground and enter the heart, head and consciousness of a nation. The hair still flowed, the bat still whirled. Dhoni carved Anrich Nortje for a one-handed six, he clumped Khaleel Ahmed for a six over extra cover, he pulled and heaved, generated thunderous power and had the crowd in pure raptures. Yet, he lost, if at all that matters. He almost rendered the result inconsequential—the spectators would take home the Dhoni blaze, even though his knock could not deny Delhi Capital...

‘Prithvi Shaw’s knock came from hurt within’, ‘Let’s hope that hunger stays’: Cricketers react to DC star’s knock

[ad_1] Prithvi Shaw spent the first two matches of Delhi Capitals’ IPL 2024 season out of the playing XI, but was finally recalled into the team for the game against the Chennai Super Kings at the ACA-VDCA stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. And he made his chance count, scoring a 27-ball 43, a knock which was studded with four boundaries and two sixes. Prithvi was among the four players who were retained by Delhi Capitals ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. But he was dropped by the franchise mid-way into IPL 2023. Coming into Sunday’s game, Prithvi had one half-century in his last 14 IPL innings. In fact, he was not even part of the match squads for their first two games. That hurt of being dropped for the first two games would have fueled his innings on Sunday, reckoned Virender Sehw...

Ranji Trophy: ‘Big, big relief’ for Shardul Thakur as he smashes first FC ton, but India return not on his mind at the moment

[ad_1] It came 11 years after he made his debut, in his 81st match and a couple of months after being dropped from Team India. It’s a ‘big, big relief’, admitted Shardul Thakur after scoring a counter-attacking century on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy semifinals against Tamil Nadu on Sunday. But the Mumbai pacer is conscious the ton might not immediately open the doors for him to get back into the Test squad. After being axed from the ODI and T20 squad last year, Thakur was dropped from the Test team during India’s tour to South Africa in January. “I think an international comeback is far from now because the Test team is out already for the fifth game and after this, we are going into the IPL so it’s far,” Thakur said after the second day’s play at the MCA-BKC ground. “I am not thinking tha...

Ranji Trophy semifinal: ‘Lord Beefy’ Shardul Thakur slams counterattacking ton as Mumbai’s tale of recoveries continues

[ad_1] ‘Let’s get them under 120!’ screamed a voice running in from the deep, in the earshot of Shardul Thakur as he walked out into the middle. And one or two maidan old-timers, sitting beneath the palm trees square of the wicket, allowed themselves a slight chuckle. They knew something that the Tamil Nadu player didn’t.For the first time in two days of the Ranji Trophy semifinals, the visitors were enjoying Mumbai’s hospitality. They’d sent Shreyas Iyer’s stumps cartwheeling, caught Musheer Khan marginally out of the crease, and castled Shams Mulani. The best half hour or so they have had so far. They had Mumbai seven down, still 40 runs behind their tally of 146 and exposed the tail to R Sai Kishore’s sorcery. Or so Tamil Nadu believed. How naive. For, there is no such thing as the Mu...
